You got that right.
Reading this story made my teeth grind Sean, sorry you have to go through this. My parents went through a pretty ugly "amiable" divorce. I am lucky in that I had two more or less functional adults as parents, both wanted what they thought was best for me both worked hard to get it. Sadly, their area of dysfunction was each other and they'd use me to get at each other. Years later my father told me he should have just let my mom raise me, and kept out of it since I was getting mixed signals from them contradicting each other. He was a bit of a tyrant, I was essentially half raised by Red Foreman if you know who that is.
Don't think of your past self as a "betachump", you made the best decisions in the moment that you were equipped to make and moving forward in the future you can improve and update your decision processes. Non-reaction is useful when dealing with malfunctioning humans.
Anyway, I am sure you're making the best decisions for your daughter first, and then taking care of yourself. Hang in there mang.
